A Fair World (S01E05)

As long as the creators stick to the game, it's a fantasy, but when the plot diverts into secondary storylines, it's always a little weaker, with less pull and less wow. The fifth episode is not an exception, and it’s a significant slowdown after the brilliant fourth. At times I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was watching Lost made in Korea. (01/28/2022)

I went into this episode expecting another round of deadly children's games, but what I got was more like a mix of the May uprising and a Bond film. Let me break it down for you. Barricades were going up, patrols were on high alert, and all the while, a stealthy solo search was underway. Well, stealthy might be stretching it... The whole array of activities happening in the monitored corridors of the complex struck me as bizarre, raising some obvious questions. If one person is in charge of all the internal cameras, what are the other twenty people doing in front of their monitors? Playing some kind of online game? It's a head-scratcher. / Lesson learned: An overly ambitious Korean surgeon can be more dangerous than Ebola. And apparently, in Korea, necrophilia is more socially acceptable than homosexuality.
